Does football have rules about delaying tactics: 30s for a throw in, goalie taking forever etc?

Yes but they are quite generous to the team in possession.

Haha cluster fuck ticketing
Outside Wembley there were lots of people walking the wrong way down the slope to the stadium, something you would only do, surely, if you had no ticket. At one point they announced that a “ticketing issue” was stopping them getting people inside the stadium itself.
As I went to enter the ground, there were loads of lads hanging about, trying to persuade ticket holders to let them squeeze behind them through the turnstiles. Some were giving up but others were persisting.
The turnstiles themselves are unmanned: you scan your ticket. So it required the vigilance of the stewards about five yards back to see if this is happening. I made sure I went in alone but the person behind me allowed someone to try. This lad was spotted and the stewards were detaining him but clearly lots were getting through.
When it came to enter the block, the two stewards were not interested in seeing my ticket. I tried to show my ticket – really put an effort into it. The two stewards talked to each other and did not look at my phone, and others strolled past unchallenged. How can they eject people without tickets if there are no checks at the entrances to the blocks?
Friends I was meeting inside reported seeing police tearing after people on the concourse. Apparently there were lots of phone thefts. One of my friends has his 13-year-old son with him. Inside the stadium, the police were chasing someone and the boy managed to trip them up. The police thanked him for saving someone’s phone.

Not surprised to see the Italian striker subbed. He’s been…well…fairly immobile.
